Arsenal’s deal to sign Wolves striker Matheus Cunha is reportedly becoming “complicated” due to the complex nature of the potential transfer.
According to reliable X account ‘Teamnewsandtix’, the Gunners have agreed terms with Cunha, although he has also secured a verbal agreement to sign a new contract with Wolves.
It appears Cunha was set to stay at Molineux, with various reports earlier in the window suggesting he could agree to stay put until the summer and sign a contract with a release clause.
However, it seems that Arsenal are going to great lengths to sign the Brazil international, and this has turned the player’s head, leading to this rather chaotic situation described in the post below…

It remains to be seen, however, whether Wolves will let such an important player leave in the middle of a campaign in which they are battling relegation.
Arsenal also have some important topics to focus on, with Champions League football returning this week and fans likely to be looking Arsenal – Dinamo Zagreb Ticketsalthough Cunha almost certainly won’t be in action for the north Londoners until then.

The post above adds that Cunha is doing everything possible to move to the Emirates Stadium, but it’s possible he could end up staying where he is.
It will be interesting to follow this crazy saga, with Cunha clearly desperate to seize this opportunity to seal a big move.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are also clearly keen on the 25-year-old, although he has also been linked with various other big-name strikers in recent times, such as Benjamin Sesko, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres.
THE injury to Gabriel Jesus has forced AFC to work harder on a major signing in January, and Cunha could be ideal to give Mikel Arteta more options in his front three.
Cunha can play up front or out wide, so could also help the team cope without the injured Bukayo Saka.
Saka isn’t due back until March, so Arsenal need to ensure they don’t rely on struggling loan signing Raheem Sterling for too long, while there also appears a need to improve inconsistencies in Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli in this area. the land.
